This fall, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Austin Area (BGCAA) is expanding its reach with 14 new Club locations, creating more opportunities for young people and families across Central Texas to access high-quality after-school programming. With this expansion, BGCAA will operate 41 Club locations across the Austin area, strengthening our ability to support more youth each day.
As we welcome these new locations, we are also welcoming a new group of Club Directors to the BGCAA family, leaders who are committed to creating positive, welcoming environments where young people can learn, grow, and discover what is possible.
As BGCAA grows, so does our opportunity to make an impact. Each new Club represents another place where young people can find caring adults, meaningful connections, opportunities to explore their interests, and the support they need to pursue their goals.
We are proud to welcome our newest Club Directors and look forward to the leadership, energy, and experience they bring to BGCAA.
